An italian Tries to Stab Contractor
Politics Sizzling.


JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Dec. 5.-Tom
Costa, a youing Italian, was arrested to day
for attempting to stab G. A. Bacl1instoe, a
railroad contractor. Backinstoe owed him
money, so Costa says, and his father vallily
endeayored to collect it. To-day, meeting
Backinstoe, the elder Costa dunned him,
and laid hold Of the buggy wheel Backin-
stoe laid the whip over the old mans head
and endeavored to drive him off, but young
Tom sprang like cat into the wagon, and,
drawing sheath-knife, endeavored to stab
him. but the sheath was over the knife,
which he did not notice in his Infatuated state.
They drove for a block in this position,
huge crowd being drawn. A policeman
seized Costa an dragged him off.
The political caldron still boils, though
love-feast was held this evening. Number
less meetings were held to-day, but all
efforts to unite seemed fruitlesS. AT this
evenings meeting all of the factions were
represented and spirit of harmony pre-
vailed. After many resolutions and
speeches pro and con, C. H. Jones presented
a resolution, which was car led, electlng an
executive committee of fifteen to supervise
the elections and providing for
votes to be sworn in when the names were
not on the registration list, This commit
tee consists of S. b Hubbard H. A. L'Engle.

from each of the nine wards, be se,ected to
present nominations for Mayor and Alder
men at the meeting tomorrow noon. The

He Came to Savannah, But Suddenly

AUGUSTA, GA, Dec. 5.-The name of the
young German who has been fleeing GER
tain citizens of Augusta, as published in this
mornings NEWS, is George Homburg. Some
weeks ago press dispatch from Washing
ton, D. c., warned the people of the South
that young German was known to
he travelling toward the coast who was
fraudulently representing himself as an
agent for the Agricultural Bureau at Wash
ington. To-day 1t transpires that the de-
scription given in that dispatch comedies
exactly with the makeup of Homburg. The
latter left Augusta a week ago for
Savannah. Upon arriving there he
wired one of his Augusta dupes to
send him check tor $40. The friend for
warded the check, but afterward becoming
suspicious, he telegraphed the Savannah
postmaster TO hold it. In due time HON.
burg appeared at the post Office with
Savannahian to identify him and demand
ed his check The postmaster told him that
while the money had arrived he could not
deliver it because of the telegram men,
toned Homburg then turned to his friend
and said: "Wait here fifteen minutes on me-
and vanished. He has not been seen or
heard of since. Besides the reward of $25
offered for him here it is likely that who
ever captures him will also reap a reward
from the government. Homburg's trunk,
which he left behind him, has been opened
and found to contain numerous letters
which prove beyond a doubt that he is
noted and accomplished confidence man.

This was getting interesting, and the

"a funny thing happened once when I

him up. When he had shaved one side

turned him over, the corpse gave an
awful groan. The barber dropped the

whole household to the spot on the run
Before anybody got there the barber was
out of the house and down the avenue as
if the old boy was after him, and at

nebriate Hospitals in America.

One of the most interesting papers
presented to the Colonial and lnterna-
tiOnal Congress on Inebriety was 4 con-
tribution by DIR. 7. D Crothers, read by
that gentleman at reception rendered
to him and his American colleagues
DIR. Crothers traced the origin of the
American recognition OF inebriety as a
disease to DIR. Benjamin Rush, and the
first practical application of treatment in
a special home to DR.. J. Z. Turner, Of
Maine. There are now fifty different
hospitals for inebriates in America, with
over 200 patients, besides about l, 900
under treatment in private families and
other surroundings. Most of these cases
have been received after every other
method of dealing with them had been
tried and had failed, and in most of them
the disease had existed from five to thirty
years. Yet the experience of the few
scientific hospitals had been very en-
couraging. In fully 5000 cases, eighty
six per cent. of those who had remained
under treatment at least one year had
been permanently restored. DR.. Crothcrs
dilated on the marked intensity of in
ebriety in America, as compared with
England, ascribing this TO the greater
intensity of nervous function. He ex-
posed the hollowness of the pretensions
Of so-called "cures" and ''antidotes, ="
and insisted on the need of a special
study of the peculiarities of each case,
and for strictly scientific treatment.

Kamschatkans and Their Homes.

The aboriginals of Kamschatka and
Kamschatdales and Koriaks; bot little is
known of their origin, and both have
decreased in numbers since the Russian
occupation. The country is now chiefly
peopled by Siberian Russians, and by a
race the product of inter-marriage be-
tween them and the aboriginal Kam-
schatdales. This new race it is usual TO
distinguish as Kamschatdales; and a
greedy, disagreeable kind of people they
seem to be. They are of low order,
and live in summer either in wretched
huts by the river banks, or in lofts
above the sheds in which they hang their
fish. In winter they have semi-subter-
ranean dwellings. Their habits and diet
are alike filthy; and their notions of
honesty meagre. The pure Kamschat-
dales, on the other hand, appear to be a
kindly and a hospitable people
The houses of the better class
Of natives OF Russian blood are usu=lly
log built, implanted, containing usually
two, and sometimes, but rarely, four
rooms, in which will be found few
chairs, rough deal table, tawdry gilt
eikon Of the Russian church, and any
number of eockroaches and unmentiona
bic insects. The houses are in many
places raised above the ground, either
upon stones, like haystacks, or upon low
wooden pillars. Tho floors are boarded.
and the house is warmed by means of a
huge brick stove built in between the
rooms, which develops immense heat.
The diet of these upper classes is-be-
sides fish-milk, sour cream, rye bread
and bilberries. The bilberry seems to be
the only fruit in Kamschatka- Cham
